The bounding of the outer' sides of the guide channels (regarded in a radial direction) may be convenientlyeffected by an.

enclosing ring, the internal surface of which,-

as already stated, isconstructed in the form of a single shell hyperboloid. Such enclosing rings 4 are: shown in Figs. 5 and 6,

The nsideand outside bounding of the guide channels in radial direction inay also be' eli'ectcd by intermediate distance ipieces 6,7 as shown in Figs. 7 and 8. In this case the blades 8, which bound the guide channels 9 laterally are held fast between the distance pieces 6,7. The outer peripheral I surface 10 of the: distance pieces 6 and the inner peripheral surface 11 of the distance .pieces are constructed as single shell hyperbololds with asymptotic co-ne. Such dis tance pieces 6, 7 may be conveniently cut out" of solid rings, after their inner and outer surfaces have been turned in .the form 7 piece withthe inner ring 3, as shown in Figs. 1 and 6, they may be cut out-of the enclosing ring so that they are integral Hit) of single shell hyperboloids.
